Discover Sailing Days are FREE and are offered at many Australian Sailing Discover Sailing Centers around Australia. They are a fantastic way to have a great day out on the banks of our beautiful Lake Macquarie, showing just how fun, safe, accessible, and affordable sailing is.

'She Sails' is a concept designed by Australian Sailing to recognise all of the amazing female contributors to our sport, and to encourage women of all ages to get involved in the sport of sailing through organised activities at their local sailing club.

We plan to focus on encouraging young girls and women to embrace sailing as a sport and align this activity with the “Lake Mac Women in Sport Festival 2023”.

The local community will have the option to go out for a short sail with an experienced sailor, have a look around the club facilities, and find out about the programs and sailing courses available. There will be something for the whole family and even kids as young as five years old can sail, when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

We plan to hold the following 3 sessions:

• Session 1 - 10:00am to 11.55am
• Session 2 - 12:00 Midday to 1.55pm
• Session 3 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm

NOTE: Entry is FREE - just click on "Register" to enter, then click on "Sign up" to create your Australian Sailing Number, which provides free Personal Accident cover, then click on "NEW MEMBER" at the bottom and provide your details, then follow the steps to complete your registration.

If you are registering your child, note parents and guardians must ensure all childeren under the age of 18 years are supervised at this function.
